The same author describes several new genera of macrurous Crustacea 
from great depths in the West Indies; Ann. Sci. Nat. (0) xi. No. 4, 16 pp. 
He also gives several general considerations upon the Crustacea of great 
depths in the Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico, collected by the Ex- 
peditions of the U. S. navy in 1877, 1878, and 1879 ; dwelling on the great 
number of species (representing about 40 new genera), the abundance of 
Galateidoi and scarcity of true Brachyura, the forms without eyes, or 
with rudimentary eyes, as Bathyplax, Willemoesia and some new genera 
of Galateidce [see Zool. Rec. xvii. Crust, p. 31], and finally the connecting 
forms between families heretofore quite distinct, as Pylocheles between 
the Paguridce and Thalassmidce, Homolodromia between the Dromiidoe 
and HomolidcBy and Cymopolia between the latter and the Dorippidce.
